That's a very cool idea! Did the link fit the mount or did you make the mounts?

how do you mean? the small side fit right in the tlt link mount with a couple of washers to fill the gap the spring fit in the wide end with a little persuasion but there are wider chains available the the ones i have lying around the house. i did have to shave the tlt link a bit though

IT looks good.
That's a double shackle not a revolver. Revolvers twist, to relieve the tension in the spring. As well as drop like that.

looks like that will work you should put them on a crawler and post a flex shot with them on it

You might also won't add some type of stop to prevent it from closing the wrong way when opening and then compressing. Looks good thogh.
